Automatic identification and quantitation of proteins when analysing tandem MS data from Icat reagent-based proteomics experiments
Applied Biosystems, together with its MDS SCIEX joint venture, has released Pro Icat software for the API QStar Pulsar hybrid LC/MS/MS system.
The new software allows automatic identification and quantitation of proteins when analysing tandem MS data from Icat reagent-based proteomics experiments.
The novel Interrogator search engine provides high throughput protein identification, while the LC/MS Reconstruct quantitation algorithm determines Icat reagent ratios using a sophisticated 3D peak-finding technique.
Proprietary algorithms offer a new standard of speed and accuracy and, when using BioAnalyst software in conjunction with Analyst QS software, researchers can easily view search results and protein sequences with a simple mouse click.
Pro Icat software is part of an extensive range of Applied Biosystems products that allow proteomics researchers to accelerate protein expression analysis and identify targets for therapy or disease markers more efficiently.
